Honda and Acura electric vehicles will be able to use Tesla Supercharger stations starting this spring, Honda said Thursday.
As with other non-Tesla brands, Honda and Acura EV owners will receive adapters that allow Tesla’s NACS connectors to plug into their CCS-equipped vehicles. The automaker said customers will be able to purchase a Honda-approved NACS-CCS DC-fast-charging adapter from authorized Honda and Acura dealerships in June, but pricing will be announced closer to the launch.
2024 Acura ZDX
The Honda Prologue and Acura ZDX SUVs—the only all-electric models currently sold in the U.S. by their respective brands—are based on General Motors architectures and are manufactured by GM. But Honda handles charging matters independently, hence the delay between GM’s rollout of Supercharger access in September 2024 and the Japanese automaker’s scheduled rollout.
Besides Honda and Acura, the last few months saw a few other brands adding Supercharger access. Mercedes-Benz opened Supercharger access in February, with Kia following this quarter, and Volkswagen, this summer. BMW, Genesis, Lucid, and JLR (comprising Jaguar and Land Rover) are currently listed as “coming soon” on Tesla’s website, but specific timing has not been confirmed.
Honda 0 Saloon and 0 SUV prototypes
Honda is also one of the eight automakers backing the Ionna DC fast-charging network, which will offer both CCS and NACS connectors. Ionna said it’s scaling up toward a targeted 30,000 EV chargers by 2030 as of February.
The combination of Supercharger access and the Ionna network will support what is set to be a growing number of Honda and Acura EVs developed in-house and built at retooled facilities at Honda’s traditional U.S. manufacturing base in Ohio. The first of these will be the Acura RSX compact SUV launching later this year, followed by the first Honda 0 Series models in 2026. Recently previewed at CES 2025, the 0 Series models will have native NACS ports.
